Exhibitors failing to comply with any of the rules are subject to

all premium cancellations, disqualification from future

participation in the Cedar County Fair. Interpretation of rules,

when necessary shall be the responsibility of the fair show

superintendents 2. Only livestock projects, which have been enrolled by the

exhibitor and identified in 4hOnline by the designated deadline of

May 15th (February 1 for market beef) may be exhibited. This applies to all animals with the exception of pets, rabbits and

poultry which need to be identified by June 30th. All livestock must meet ownership/possession identifications and requirements outlined in 4-H 202. Joint members partnership entries will not be accepted with the exception of horses and dogs

as outlined in 4-H 202 (found on county and state websites).

Animals CANNOT be identified as both 4-H and FFA and

cannot be identified by more than one 4-H/FFA member.

3. Animals offered for sale in an auction are considered to

have changed ownership even if bought back by the

original owner or if the owner refuses a bid or says “No

Sale”. All animals offered for sale are terminated as 4-H

projects.

4. First and Second place winners in individual classes are eligible

to compete for Championships and Reserve Championships,

provided they received a purple or blue award.

5. Exhibitors in 4-H classes are not eligible to exhibit in a similar

37

department of the FFA divisions or vice-versa.

6. Animals must be shown as identified – 4-H or FFA not both.

7. No member will be eligible for this show who does not take entire

charge and care of the project in the show ring except in case of

illness or for some reason approved by the superintendents of

show. This show is an educational event. It is designed to train

4-H members to properly fit their animals and exhibit his or her

animal without aid.

Rabbit, Sheep and Swine exhibitors must be certified through the

YQCA (Youth for the Quality Care of Animals) Program.

9. Animals with disposition problems may be asked to leave the fair

grounds at the discretion of the fair show superintendents.

10. SUBSTITUE SHOWMAN – Excusing a member from personally

exhibiting his/her animal(s) defeats one of the important

objectives of 4-H work. Hence, the Management does not

approve the use of substitute showmen except in extreme cases: if

a member is injured or is seriously ill at the time of the show or is

involved in another fair activity with a nonflexible schedule at

which their presence is mandatory. In the case of military

obligations, official orders must be on file in the Extension Office

prior to the start of the fair.

Participation in school or school activities will not be considered.

For those who are ill or injured, a doctor’s note is highly

recommended.

The substitute showman must be an eligible Cedar County 4-H or

FFA member and approved in advance of the show by fair show

superintendents and/or the Extension Office.

An exhibitor, who has more than one animal in a class, need not

secure approval for another eligible showman to exhibit one of

his/her animals. However, it is expected such cases will be

brought to the attention of the clerk checking animals into the

check-in area or show ring.

11. CODE OF ETHICS – Youth are expected to be sincere, honest

and act in sportsmanlike ways at all times. Youth represent the

entire program and their behavior reflects on their parents,

leaders, club and the entire youth program. All adults involved

with the youth program, leaders as well as parents, are expected

to set positive examples and serve as positive role models by

what they say and do. Any youth who breaks the Code of Ethics

or allows another person (adult or peer) to talk them into violating

the Code of Ethics agrees to forfeit all prizes, awards and

premiums. The youth may also be prohibited from exhibiting at

this and future exhibitions including the Iowa State Fair and other

38

county, state or regional exhibitions.

Youth agree to follow these guidelines:

A. I will do my own work, appropriate for my age and physical

and mental development. This includes research and writing

of exhibit explanations, preparing exhibits (such as sewing,

cooking, refinishing, etc.), care and grooming of animals, etc.

Adult assistance should help guide and support me, not do it

for me.

B. All exhibits will be true representation of my work. Any

attempt to take credit for other’s work, alter the conformation

J. By entering an animal in this fair or exhibition, I am giving

39

consent to the management of the fair or exhibition to obtain

any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances

from the animal to be used in testing. If the laboratory report

on the analysis of any sample indicates a presence of

forbidden drugs, this shall be evidence such substance has

been administered to the animal either internally or

externally. It is presumed that the sample tested by the

laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the

animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all

procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to

the laboratory and analysis of the sample is correct and

accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains

to the sample taken from the animal in question and

correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the

sample was taken, with the burden on the exhibitor, parent

and/or guardian to prove otherwise.

K. I am responsible for my exhibit and I will not allow others to

violate this code on my behalf. By my entering an exhibit in

this Fair I will accept any disciplinary actions taken by the

management of this fair or exhibition for any violation of this

Code of Ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair

has to offer, both good and not so good, and how to live with

and learn from the outcome.

M. I will not be involved in any illegal activities while

participating in 4-H and FFA events, including but not

limited to alcohol, tobacco or drug use.

N. I agree to conduct myself in an honest, ethical, and

will result if these rules are violated. I understand that I am

expected to represent the program in a positive manner. I

have read, understand and agree to follow this Code of

Ethics, and any other rules of competition of the fair or

exhibition as printed in its Premium Book and other exhibitor

in obedience or a judge’s recommendation, the exhibitor is

can be provided to the participant upon request. These should

end up in your record books if you choose to receive them.

obstacle. Faults as noted below will be deducted from total score.

Ties will be broken by flip of the coin or other “game of chance”.

21. Off leash agility-scoring is based on completing the course

correctly and safely. Deductions for faults will be subtracted

from the total score, 1 fault = 1 additional second. Placings are

based on highest score. Ties will be broken by a flip of the coin

or other “game of chance”. Example of deductions that may

occur during a run: 1 point for each missed contact, 1 point for

tight lead or directing dog with lead, 2 points for retry on

obstacle, 2 points for incomplete obstacle and 5 points for

refusal or missed obstacle. Judge will have the final say on all

deductions, ribbon colors, and placings. Dogs that leave the

course will be asked to return to the ring to finish their run and

74

receive a missed obstacle fault. If a dog leaves the course twice

the exhibitor should put the dog back on the leash and complete

the course.
